Catching my man cheating on me tore me up. I am not a jealous woman. Still, it festered in me, I tried and tried to let go. It bubbled up into every segment of my being.
She is half my age. Her breasts are larger, and still firm from lack of time. There are no wrinkles, no gray to struggle against.
In my bed.
Anyplace on the planet but in my bed. That affected me even more.
I had it all removed, the bed, the carpets, the vanity, everything.
That didn't work.
I dressed as close to naked as I could dress in public, Jon came to me, his eyes showed interest, his eyes showed heat.
He didn't come home to me that night, I ended up with the driver. That was fine, Nathan is a huge African Man, sweet as pie, I like him.
I wanted Jon.
Jon finally came home, very late. We almost didn't speak, his lips brushed mine the next morning, then he was gone. All of the things at his job running the casino.
Alone again. It is hard for me to be alone.
I got up and dressed, I decided to go for a drive.
I put on a nice soft blouse, a pair of matching slacks, grabbed my purse. I hit the button to open the garage, the red z06 Corvette sat there waiting.
I hit the button on the keypad, nothing. Confused, I hit it again. Nothing. I used the key to open the door, the seat didn't respond, the car was dead.
I was frustrated, not knowing what to do. I finally called a shop that advertised that they worked on Corvettes.
It was two hours before a serviceman arrived. I looked at him, he seemed to be about 12 years old..
"God", I thought. The young man looked me up and down and smiled, I knew he could see my nipples through the soft material.
"Battery is dead, Ma'm", he said.
I thought about that, less than 6000 miles on that car. I questioned that.
"Lots of electronics, and a Gel type battery." He said.
"Oh", I responded, pretending to know what the hell he was talking about.
"Can you fix that?"
"Yes, just a recharge, then be sure to start and run it every few days".
I went back inside the house. It wasn't 15 minutes before I heard the Corvette start.
$90 later, he left, I climbed in. No idea why or where, just going.
I drove out to the freeway, past the airport, on out into the desert. Traffic got lighter, I rolled down the windows in the spring heat, let the wind whip me as I picked up the speed.
I have no idea how fast I was driving, my mind was in a whirl. It was too fast apparently, I saw the lights behind me.
I pulled over to the side, and was digging in my purse when the Officer came up to the window.
"Good Day, Miss." He said with a smile. I looked up, it was Tom, the same man who had stopped Jon and I a few weeks before.
"Hello. Was I going too fast?" I asked as I finally found my license.
"Any faster and I would have had to call for a chopper...Lee.", hesitating as he read my name on the license.
"Please wait right here." He went back to the cruiser. I sighed, disgusted with myself.
Tom was back in just a few minutes, he handed me some papers.
"Sorry but I have to cite you, Lee. I made it less but you just have to be more...careful." His voice trailed off oddly.
It hit me that from his vantage point he could see inside my blouse. He stood there for a moment as I actually blushed, then walked back to his car.
I looked at the citation, 88 mph. I knew I was more likely well over 100. I reached for the key to start the car just as the big cruiser pulled out and headed down the highway.
Nothing.
I tried several times, nothing. I reached for my purse, realizing as I did that my cell phone was sitting on the counter at home.
I tripped the huge hood, and stepped out, the blast of the spring desert heat like a furnace.
I saw nothing wrong, everything looked brand new. The car would heat up fast in the desert sun, so I glanced up and down the road, no one.
I had seen no one for several minutes, and I wasn't even sure of where I was. I had driven for nearly an hour, and fast. The memory of slowing for a collection of buildings a few miles back came to me, I decided to head that way. I had no idea at all what was ahead.
